For all those (like myself) who have been debating on whether to get Midtown Madness 3, or Midnight Club, I will provide an easy solution. After renting Midtown Madness, I can say with ease, that it sucks donkey nuts. It was a dissapointment, the physics suck, and the racing becomes tedious with no time at all. The split screen multiplayer sucks, and the only appealing aspect this game contains is it's system link and live play modes, which I am unable to play at this time.
Earlier today, I made my decision by trading in two games at EB and recieving the game for free, and I must say that I couldn't have been happier with my purchase. This game is fast paced action that doesn't stop. The driving physics rock, and I just got a motercycle, which i cruised around on for about an hour in cruise mode. This non-linear racing game is awesome, and I highly recommend it to any who are interested. The method in which you choose a race is unique and entertaining all in its own. Rather than simply selecting an opponent from a selection menu, you cruise the town, in search of an oponent. Many are marked with nav points on your map, and any can be chosen. Once you aproach said oponent, you flash your high beams, and its on! You chase the car around, and if you successfully follow them, you will reach the racing area. At this time you will engage in several races, the end of which results in recieving the pink slip for your rivals car.
Its an amazing game, and I've played it for about 3 hours non-stop. There are plenty of shortcuts and jumps to be found, and it's replayability seems to be very high.
